Psycho Psycho Psycho
Psych 130 Midterm Number TWO tomorrow at 10:00 AM. I am not really ready to say the least, but I think my brain refuses to acknowledge that I should be freaking out (this is called avoidance coping by the way). I think this perpetual state of stress (small and big) has jaded me to this.
Also, this lack of freaking out might be caused by the fact that I spent an hour or two being hysterical with Barbara as we attempted to find her proper clothes to wear and as I realized how weird my little toe is and as she realized how freaky my body is (i.e. double-jointed-ness, you all remember the bendy thumbs, my little toe, my deformed finger, etc. etc.). You see, this SKIPS the "freaking out" step of my usual day-before-test-stressing pattern. I went right from general anxiety to hysterical, so really I'm pretty mellow right now. Mildly stressed, but mellow.
Another thing: I've been spending too much time with Barbara. Hah.
There were two earthquakes today. I actually felt the second one, but didn't realize it was an earthquake until I went to German and Jo asked if we'd felt it. I thought it was just the apartment building being shakier than usual. Rena's GSI told her section that a truck ran into the building they were in. Barbara's workplace isn't that earthquake safe and cabinets shook and stuff. But not a lot. In the social psych department (as related to us by Professor Keltner), everyone was pretending that they knew what was going on. They stopped for a moment before going about their business.
